s o u l * m a k e s
with a new year on our doorstep i have put together a little plan that i'm bursting with excitement about!
self-care comes in many forms, and like i mentioned in my last blog post (it felt good to share, thankyou lovely people!) - is something i am constantly working on to be a mindset as well as the physical act of self-care. slowing down, living and breathing in the moment, feeling gratitude and appreciating simple things are all part of it for me.
and as you surely know...i love to make things! making things is my happy place...yet...i rarely make anything special for myself ~ do you? too often i *have* to make things to sell, for birthday gifts, for rapidly growing children...i would love for this to change. i am worth making lovely things for! i can create the time once a month to work on something simple and beautiful for myself...
would you like to join me?
i have dreamed up 12 beautiful projects for the year ~ to make for yourself to wear, or to adorn your bedroom or sacred place.
these will be simple but special - no fancy equipment or even a sewing machine will be needed. just your hands and an open heart.
many different materials and types of work are included - beads, twigs, hand stitching, beeswax, dyeing, image transfers to name a few. it will be work that you can (mostly!) pop into a basket to sit and do at the park, or tucked in bed late at night with herbal tea.
each month you will recieve a juicy and beautiful package in the mail with all the things you'll need to create the project ~ these goodies will be hand chosen and sourced from my travels to bali, local artisan friends, vintage and junk shops, my studio stash and mother earth herself!
along with the package, i will be emailing a monthly video sharing my journey and thoughts on self-love and instructions for the project.
it's my hope that in gathering this creative self-care circle, we will share and connect through a private facebook group, make new friends and support each other!
cost ~
$46 per month + shipping (yes, i will ship internationally)
this is a year long commitment and you will be agreeing to pay monthly. 10% discount if paid in full for the year :)
to join a year of s o u l * m a k e s please email me emilyfalconbridge{AT}hotmail.com with "soul*makes" in the subject line. let me know where you live and wether you choose to pay monthly or in full ~ i will send you a paypal invoice for 2 months payment up front, with the remainding months billed from march-december 2015. there is a limited amount of slots available so it will be first come first served! please email with any questions xo *the first package will ship january 12...
**i will be creating these projects for myself month by month as i make the videos to send you! some of the projects we will create are lanterns, garlands, wooden pendants, weavings, hand dyed scarf, necklaces and bracelets, dreamcatchers, pajakis, pillows, image transfers, slippers...
your package will include all the supplies beautifully wrapped with pictures of the project ~ and ready for you to watch the short video and get making! xo
This sounds amazing, can't wait to get started 😃.xx

It's so sad that this blog came down so much to a businessblog.
Well, wish you a successfull new year.

I find you so inspiring Em! It's fabulous to have watched you evolve and come into your own over the years. A woman with a growing family, moving around the world, finding time for the creative in the moments in between. I love that you've made your way back to Bali and leading retreats. And I love even more that you are turning what you love into a means of support. You deserve to be fully supported by what you love. I mean that in all the various ways you can interpret it.

I am interested but can you show more of what we'll get (exemple of a package) and more of what we'll be doing... or working with...
When it comes to me, i don't like to make jewelries...
Thanks, Nathalie
